"The publisher ran into financial difficulties and production of the parts ceased before the work was completed [e.g., the Introduction ends in mid-sentence]. The unsold parts and unpublished plates were bought by the publisher, Henry Sotheran, and the work was eventually published completely in 1872 as Tortoises, terrapins and turtles"--University of Glasgow online catalog record for this publication
